Foxtel software update?

There appears to have been a software update to the software on Foxtel's
iQHD. The software version s now 116.2.8.2.4.28 and the EPG version is now
U_1.8.6.

Some of the changes I've noticed include:
* Programs scheduled for recording are now in white text and red background
on the TV guide.
* When you delete a program from the planner it asks you to confirm before
deleting, even if you haven't selected to keep the program.
* Movies on Demand is working again, e.g. you can browse through all movies
by title again. This feature disappeared a few weeks ago and so it was only
possible to see about 100-200 or so movies.
* The On Demand menus are re-organised (including Movies On Demand), and
include a lot more categories (e.g. news, sport, documentaries) in addition
to movies, TV and adult programs, and now feature many more programs, some
of which are free to download and watch (e.g. some programs from
documentaries and news).

I have the software version ending in 28 but U_1622 for EPG still. As such
I have noticed no changes.

I have the same as you and had only noticed the red scheduled programs - a
nice touch!
I'll have to check out the on demand changes.
